<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">Is the only thing you are trying in your code "print(f)"??
<div>I'm not sure that will work. Try adding something like this:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>getfilevarnames(f)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>or something else from the listed functions at <a href="https://www.ncl.ucar.edu/Document/Functions/Built-in/addfile.shtml" target="_blank" style="font-size: 10pt;">

<div><br>
</div>
<div>It may be reading your file after all, but the print statement isn't the way to access information in the file.</div>

<div dir="ltr">Dear All,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm looking at the 4km resolution hourly precipitation from NCEP/CPC (<a href="http://rda.ucar.edu/datasets/ds507.5/" target="_blank">http://rda.ucar.edu/datasets/<wbr>ds507.5/</a>). The documented data format is GRIB1, but when using "addfile" no variables
were printed. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div>ncl 0> f = addfile("./gage.hrly.prcp.<wbr>20020101","r")</div>
</div>
<div>ncl 1> print(f)<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div>Variable: f</div>
<div>Type: file</div>
<div>(0) File Missing Value : -1</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Does anyone have a clue how to access the data?</div>
<div>Thank you all!</div>
